Freakish and frightening though it was, what is now called
the Terrorist Information Awareness system, first made its
debue dubed as the Total Information Awareness system that
was to be headed by the Information Awareness Office, IAO,
the acronym used by Crowleyites of the Freemasonic fringe,
occult secret society, which acronym (IAO) refers to their
god, as symbolized by the All-Seeing Eye of Freemasonry.
One website, among others, that recorded this fact:
The Memory Hole
December, 2002
Information Awareness Office Website Deletes Its Logo
The disappeared logo
The government's Information Awareness Office--you know, the
Defense agency that's running the Total Information
Awareness Program, the huge database that will track
everything about everyone in the US and beyond, helmed by
convicted felon John Poindexter--keeps getting more shy.
First, the IAO took down the biographies of its senior
staff. (The Memory Hole has mirrored them here.)
Now, the IAO has removed its eye-death-ray logo, which was
denounced far and wide as being Orwellian, Masonic, and just
plain creepy as hell.
Above, we've archived the logo's large version. Below, we've
archived the IAO's banner, which used to incorporate the
logo but is now quite plain. (The banner also used to
contain the IAO's slogan, "Scienta est potentia," which is
Latin for, "Knowledge is power.")
To fondly recall how the logo and banner used to look in
context, follow these links:

Thanks to Morgan Woodson for alerting me.
